This is a multi-part message in MIME format. -- lol. Im agreeing with you, this is how it used to work when we first started using these duals a year ago (still under windows), we allow each hlds to use both cpu's and let the windows scheduler take care of it.
However im not arguing that, im just pointing out/ asking for input on why im getting my single P4 systems out performing my mp2400+ duals. On paper the duals should be much faster than the P4's, but in reality its just not happening (see specs of player slots on original post) Neil. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of K.

This is a multi-part message in MIME format. -- hlsd isnt coded to be multithreaded so wont see any advantage with having 2 cpus available, but because we are running more than 2 process on each box, the os is able to scedule the invdividual load between the 2 chips.
